HOW INSANITY- HAS, GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.
. i i
Insanity In the United States is de
cidedly on tho increase. This fact Is
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feeble-minded, epileptics,
Inebriates and drug addicts by t3ie
.National Committee for Mental Hy
giene. Analysis of this census is found
In the Mental Hygiene. It was com
piled by Horatio M. Pollack, statistici
an of the New York State Hospital
commission,, and Edith M. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
the. t the increase of population from
April 15, 1910, to January 1, 1017, was
11. bO per cent. The same government
-.jrcncy found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 187,791.
The census taken In the present year
reve:ilell 234,055 insane persons in in
stitutions. Thus the increase In the
i:.;ine in institutions during the corre
sponding period was 24.64 per cent, a
grov. th more than double that of the
, goneral population.
Moreover, the rate of Increase of the
Insane in institutions was . relatively
prater th'an that of the general popu
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada-and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
of population and increase In insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population Increase was 9.84 per
cent, as compared with-a percentage
of increase of insane in Institutions of
27.3S. The neighboring state of- Indi
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re
spectively. YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist feasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you. adv.
Why She Blushed.
Flossie, the waitress, was very keen
on a certain handsome young man
who always sat at one of her tables.
She fluttered round him and ogled
and giggled and explained the young
man's lack of response by the fact that
he stammered.
"Is there anything you want?" she
asked one day, and there were several
shades of meaning in her tone.
The young man glanced at her and
said:
"Will you let me have a k-k-k "
- The maiden blushed violently at this
significant sound and threw a glance
of triumph at the other waitresses.
" a k-k-cup?" finished the young
man.
The girl blushed deeper than ever
at this and the young man went on:
T kn-know why you're blushing.
You thought I "was g-golng to ask for
a k-k-k-clean cup!"
Whenever You Need a General Tonic

A Message to Mothers
YOU know the real human doctors right around in your neighborhood :
the doctors made of flesh and blood just like you: the doctors with
souls and hearts : those men who are responding to your call in the
dead of night, as readily as in the broad daylight; they are ready
to tell you the good that Fletcher's Castoria has done, is doing and
will do, from their experience and their love for children. ,
Fletcher's Castoria is nothing new. We are not asking you to
try an experiment. We just want to impress upon you the importance
of buying Fletcher's.
Your physician will tell you this, as he knows there are a num
ber of imitations on the market, and he is particularly interested in
the welfare of your baby.

Make Cheap Lotion
The juice of two fresh im
ed Into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white makes a whole quar
ter pint of the most remarkable lemon
skin beautifler at about the cost one
must pay for a small jar of the ordi
nary cold creams. Care should be tak
en to strain the lemon juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Evety woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the Ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifler.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage It daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. It should natur
ally help to whiten, soften, freshen and
bring out the hidden roses and beauty
of any skin. It is wonderful for rough,
red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons. Adv.
'The Potato Blessing.
Riding outside the city, one will not
fail to, see the wide expanse of potato
plants growing luxuriously, and forth
with he indulges in anticipations of
the golden plenty that is soon to be the
good fortune of our people. But cloud
ing these anticipations is a dark fear
that the speculator will invade these
premises and get nearly all these pota
toes into his own hands and by some
sort of restriction or limitations so
work the prospects that he will be
able to keep up the price and gather
in the profits, says the Ohio State Jour
nal. It would be a decided advantage
to the public welfare If it could be so
decreed that no producer should sell
to a mere speculator. There is no op
pression in that. Of course, it might
stave off a little inconvenience, but it
will pay in the end. Let us hope that
the beautiful potato prospect will turn
out a public blessing.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.
A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used :iro two sheets
of cardboard about three-sixteenth ol
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board Is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer
cise, which It is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase of his convales
cence; also he has to suffer none of
the Inconveniences of crutches, a stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb Is ready to be fitted.

The Great Need.
The Prince of TJdlne, head of the
Italian commission, said at a lunch
eon in New York:
"The Germans need, above all
things, a spiritual bath or cleansing,
When I contemplate them I feel like
the restaurateur.
"A restaurateur in the Galleria in Mi
lan was waited on by a tramp who
wanted work. The restaurateur, be
ing shorMu,-,,1c!. agreed to tr.Ue the
tramp pu. Eut, heavens, he was dirty.
" Til put you at the dish washing
said the restaurateur, and then he took
out a two-lira note. 'But, here, take
this first; and go and get a bath.'
"As the tramp, bowing and scraping,
started off, the restaurateur called him
back and said:
" 'There may be some change. In
that event, take another bath.' "
A Wise Provision.
The wity journalist was conversing''
with a friend about raising carp In
ponds for food. The friend remarked
hat such a food supply would not be
much in demand here, but that the
Germans liked carp.
"Germans will eat anything," re
marked the witty journalist, but Im
mediately qualified his remark. "That
is, when they can get anything to
cat."
